the issue every single company is having is they're looking at what they currently do and figuring out how to branch off into ai

everything that comes out of this has been useless

just think about what they'd build if starting today - it might be completely unrelated

Even just having a hybrid does this to me, I aim to be the smoothest driver on the road.

If I had to identify a list of skills in high impact engineers, it would include:

- ecological awe
- intellectual humility
- respect for the complexity of unfamiliar problems
- cross functional communication
- resilience engineering
- marketing and sales

(“Technical skills” aren’t in my top ten)

Jupiter Captured by the Juno spacecraft!

I've seen a number of people who can't entertain the idea LLM use isn't cognitively damaging but I think the real issue is up stream: they don't entertain it as anything other than an answer machine.

i don't think anti-AI people appreciate that a) frontier LLMs are actually pretty good mentors on at least programming topics, and b) SO MANY PEOPLE have no access to good human mentors.

if the choice is "LLM or a really good TA" i'll pick TA every time. it isn't tho. it's "LLM or nothing"

Question: What tooling have you all used for reliability testing and chaos engineering? Answer: Prod

Sounds about right.

Blessed tickets both of them.

This is so well done. 👌

teenage militant Baptist me would be SO FUCKING confused right now.

"so I'm a woman. okay, glad we figured that one out."

"and I'm an atheist. less okay, but I assume you did your research and this is how we landed based on the evidence."

"but WHY ARE YOU A FAN OF THE POPE!"

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

Lunar Flyby - NASA

Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)

wanted to buy: opposition party that actually opposes "a whole civilization will die tonight"

Re: moral panics

Some people are sensitive to things like unnecessary waste. They might be kind of bothered by the trajectory of certain things more than you are excited about it.

They don't need any fuel to go back, it's a free return trajectory so a fuel leak would probably not impact the mission if there was one.

They couldn't like, use a pair of Blackhawks or something??

Trump giving Allahu Ackbars was not on my bingo card.

"LLMs are great at writing tests"

The tests:

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you design a system and 50% of its users are using it wrong, that is not user error.

You cannot blame users for that, you built a terrible system.

This is my biggest gripe at the moment, not major but just makes using references as fields very difficult. Kind of do just want to have a ! Move trait so that things are only referenced and never copied around and then self references could maybe just work. (Pin does not mix with the bc well)

I really do hate how in silicon valley believing surprising or counterintuitive things has become culturally valorized. Actually beliefs that sound wrong are usually wrong, and if you hold some you’d better have good evidence you aren’t just subject to confirmation bias.

People need to understand that it is a good thing if Trump threatens to leave NATO and says the US will not fight for Europe. The truth was the alliance was dead the moment he became president again. The US under him would never fight to defend Europe from Russia. Pretending otherwise was dangerous.

Changing one line: $1
Knowing how to find the one line of code to change: $999

a lot of the skill of programming is at a much higher level than a lot of people recognize, i think.

people say it's about knowing what line of code to change, but i'd go further: it's about knowing how to figure out the best way to find the one line of code that needs to be changed.

Oxide and Friends is back, at a special time! @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by Oxide engineers Andrew Stone and Finch Foner to talk about how we build a quorum of trust in the distributed system that is the Oxide rack. Join us today at 2p Pacific/5p Eastern! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...
